Popis: The article is devoted to the design of the drive unit of a continuous transport machines, i.e. the leading suspension of a special belt conveyor – a conveyor with a suspended belt and a distributed drive. The paper provides an analysis of known designs of conveyor suspension with a suspended belt and specifies their common general weaknesses. The authors show the original technical solution of the universal roller suspension, equipped with an individual motor-gear drive, as well as a drive roller pressure device, and its main advantages. The authors developed and showed a mathematical model designed to optimize the characteristics of the metal structure of one of the most metal-consuming elements of the considered drive suspension as the carrier section and taking into account structural, strength and stiffness limitations. In their paper, the authors showed the implementation of the proposed mathematical model: the stress-strain state of the metal structure of the drive suspension is calculated using the example of the basic design. It is established that the basic drive suspension has excessive strength, weight and exceeded geometric parameters of the rods. The authors made the conclusion about the need for multi-criteria optimization of the metal construction of the drive suspension, as well as the study of the influence of the configuration parameters of the drive suspension on its weight and size characteristics.
